Tuning In CIC is a creative practice led by musician and workshop leader Luke Crookes who creates accessible music, sound, movement and sensory experiences with disabled children and young people, including learners with profound and multiple learning disabilities, learning disabilities, autism and complex communication needs.
Our work includes:
- SEND and Inclusive Practice: Long-term projects and one-off commissions in special schools, colleges and cultural settings. The work includes sensory soundscapes, co-constructed projects, creative research, anti-ableist pedagogy and staff development.
- Museums, Galleries and Heritage: Projects developed around paintings, collections, architecture, objects, history and place, including work connected with the National Gallery, Museum of London, British Museum, Wallace Collection, Manchester Art Gallery and Open City.
- Orchestra, Music and Performance: Creative learning, composition, workshops and performance with orchestras, venues and ensembles including the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Barbican, Philharmonia, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Opera North, BBC Proms and Wigmore Hall
- Cross- Arts and Collaboration: Collaborations with visual artists, dancers, theatre makers, movement practitioners and architects. Sound and bassoon can function as performance material, atmosphere, structure, response, invitation and shared artistic language
